- quote
Tengu have long been considered the main enemies of Buddhism in Japan.
Tengu are one kind of yokai which there is a direct path to becoming: a human that is so wicked, so evil, that they do not even deserve hell can become a tengu. They are reborn in Tengu-do, or the realm of tengu — a place outside of the wheel of reincarnation from which there is no escape.
Tengu never get a chance at becoming a Buddha or being reborn in a better world.
They are stuck there forever, as a yokai, forever apart from happiness and barred from enlightenment.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

During the times of retired emperor Go-Shirakawa 後白河天皇 (1127 - 1192, tengu were seen as
tenma 天魔 heavenly evil spirits

. Tenma - Maten 摩天 .
- a deity who is tempting and disturbing human beings.

天主大魔王: Sixth Heavenly Pillar Deity.
Number six in the Buddhist realm of lust, greed and desire (yokuai, yokkai 欲界 .. kāma-dhātu. Kamadhatu), the highest realm.
People who are reborn in this heaven tend to take the pleasures of others for themselves and enjoy in the happiness of others.

Since a Tenma Tengu comes from a path of Buddhism, he can not enter one of the six realms of existence.
They live in a sphere outside Buddhism, free of any restraints, pursuing their own lust and desire without fear of punishment.


. Myooe Shoonin 明恵上人 Saint Myoe (1173 - 1232) .

A friend of priest Myoe named Gedatsu once had visitors from the Tengudo realm at his humble abode, who told him about the dangers of leaving the Buddhist path and venturing into dangerous terrain outside it.
Myoe used to tell his disciples to study the right path of Buddhism diligently and never think of leaving it.


. Daisoojoo 笠置山大僧正 - Tengu Daisojo, Kasagizan .
and Gedatsu Shoonin, Shōnin 解脱上人 Saint Gedatsu Shonin
Gedatsu shōnin Jookei, Jōkei 貞慶 Jokei (1155 - 1212)



Jokei belonged to the 法相宗 Hosso sect of Buddhism.
He was also called 解脱房 Gedatsu Bo and 笠置寺上人 Kasagidera Shonin, the Saint from Temple Kasagidera.
He believed in Shaka Nyorai, Miroku Bosatsu, Kannon Bosatsu and 春日明神 Kasuga Myojin.
In 1205, he founded 海住山寺 Kaijusen-Ji and spread the belief in Kannon Bosatsu.
He tried to use the power of the Imperial Court to suppress the activities of 法然 Saint Honen.

TENGU - Rokushakubo Tengu Ontake



[ . BACK to DARUMA MUSEUM TOP . ]

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Rokusekiboo 六石坊 Rokuseki-Bo
御嶽山六石坊 / 御岳山六石坊 Ontakesan (Mitakesan) Rokuseki-Bo


He is one of the
. 四十八天狗 48 Important Tengu of Japan .

He is quoted in many references, but it seems it is a mix-up (or spelling mistake) with

Rokushakuboo 六尺坊 Rokushakubo, Rokushaku-Bo

..............................................................................................................................................


- quote
Mount Ontake (御嶽山 Ontake-san), also referred to as Mount Kiso Ontake (木曽御嶽山 Kiso Ontake-san),



the second highest volcano in Japan (after Mount Fuji) at 3,067 m.
It was thought dormant, but on September 27, 2014, it erupted.
- source : wikipedia

Mount Ontakesan has various peaks populated with individual Tengu.
Ontake shinkō 御嶽信仰 Ontake Shinko is the religion of the region.

- quote -
Beliefs and practices associated with Mt Ontake in Kiso (Nagano Prefecture).
It is a mountain cult chiefly supported by confraternities (kō) and religious organizations (kyōkai). It is not clear when Ontake began to be considered a sacred mountain but from the fact that it was of old called Ō no mitake ("The Monarch, Mitake"), it can be inferred that it was related to the Mitake cult of Kimpusen at Yoshino of the Heian period.
It is thought that by the Kamakura period Ontake was revered as a provincial guardian by local shugenja influenced by Kumano and Yoshino: medieval saimon (statements read before the kami during rituals) owned by Ontake Jinja in the village of Ōdaki and founder legends record that buddhas and kami associated with Kumano and Ōmine were revered, and in the Shin sarugaku-ki (Fujiwara Akihira, 1058-65),
Ontake is listed together with Tateyama and Hakusan as a place where Shugendō was practiced.

But Rokushaku-Bo was thought to be an incarnation of the deity 御嶽権現 Ontake Gongen.
So he is thought of to be rather special and the leader of them all. He he lived on the Main Peak,

Climbing Mount Ontakesan for religious practises was very dangerous in former times and the Shugendo priests usually never came back.
It was a place where the Tengu Kodama spirits lived.
One of the few who took residence here was the Tengu Rokushaku-Bo (六尺棒).

羽咋村 Hakui

In the home of the 雄谷家 Oya family, there is Tengu Room. From time to time they hear the sound of drums and flutes from there.



.......................................................................... Nara 奈良県 ......................................
吉野郡 Yoshino district 野迫川村 Nosegawa vilage

At the pass 陣ヶ峰峠 Jingamine Toge there is the tea stall 天狗見茶屋 Tengumi Chaya with a room of 8 tatami mats, the Tengu no Ma 天狗の間 Tengu Room.
The son of this family, 仙太郎 Sentaro, was quite a Yakuza hanging around gambling. So the Tengu came to teach him a lesson and waited in front of the house.
But Sentaro did not listen to his sermon and instead invited him to come along gambling. The angry Tengu picked up the young man and threw him into the large Tengu Room. Sentaro was quite surprized, fell ill and soon died. That is how the room got its name.



.......................................................................... Shimane 島根県 ......................................

Tengu no ma no yuurei 天狗の間の幽霊 The Ghost of the Tengu Room



This room is located in the 5th floor of 松江城 Matsue castle.

Once upon a long time, the new lord of Matsue castle wanted to relax in the Tengu Room of the main castle tower.
Suddenly a lovely maiden with a robe from the Heian period came right out of the back wall.
The lady told the lord:
"This castle (konoshiro) belongs to me. I want to have it back. Please leave here at once!"

The young lord soon realized that this was something quite unusual and thought about it for a while. Then he told the maiden:
"If you want (kono shiro この城) this castle so much, I will give it to you. Please wait here for a while!"

He left the Tengu Room and went to the local fishermen to get some fish, which was called
konoshiro コノシロ (Konosirus punctatus).



But the fishermen were too afraid to walk up to the Tengu Room.
So the lord said:
"Well, then, I will bring her the fish!"
As he said so, a young retainer called 久弥 Kyuya came up and said:
"I will carry it up to the Tengu Room."



Kyuya placed the fish on a 三方 ritual tray for Shinto offerings and then went up all the stairs to the castle tower to the Tengu Room.
Nobody was in the room when Kyuya placed the tray with the fish on the ground.
Then the lovely maiden with a robe from the Heian period came out of the back wall.
She looked quite puzzled at the tray: "What is this supposed to be?"
Kyuya answered:
"This is Konoshiro, a fish. So please accept it as promised."
The lady hesitated.
"Please, accept the offering!" Kyuya insisted.
So she took the tray.
Indeed, the young Lord had succeeded in fooling the maiden and keeping her promise.


- - - - - Tengu no Ma, the Tengu Room

Next morning Kyuya found the tray near the central Honmaru building of the castle.
And the Lovely Lady was never seen again.
She had been a "human offering" when the castle was built. By mistake not a girl from the village but the daughter of the first owner of the castle had been burried.

- Matsuo Basho, Oku no Hosomichi 奥の細道:
"I went to see the shrine of Muronoyashima. According to Sora, my companion, this shrine is dedicated to the goddess called the Lady of the Flower-Bearing Trees, who has another shrine at the foot of Mt.Fuji. This goddess is said to have locked herself up in a burning cell to prove the divine nature of her newly-conceived son when her husband doubted it. As a result, her son was named the Lord Born Out of the Fire, and her shrine, Muro-no-yashima, which means a burning cell.
It was the custom of this place for poets to sing of the rising smoke, and for ordinary people not to eat
このしろといふ魚 konoshiro, a speckled fish, which has a vile smell when burnt."

"Pay our respects to the Muro-no-Yashima Shrine.
Companion Sora relates: "The goddess here, Princess Konohanasakuya, is the same as at Mt. Fuji. She set fire to the birthing hut in proof of her wedding vows, so this place graced with the birth of Prince Hohodemi, and, from this, the shrine is called Muro-no-Yashima.
This is why the reading of smoke is practiced here."

They say that this fish when cooked gives off the smell of burning human flesh and therefore is associated with the Lady of the Flowerbearing Trees. This is also why people are forbidden to eat this fish.

At the shrine 日枝神社 Hie Jinja the fish Konoshiro is used as a kind of amulet to avoid disaster and crying at night by children.
This also holds for children born in the year Showa 24, 25 and 52.
.
If a healthy person all of a sudden and for no good reason looses his health, it will often find an unusual death.
People can use the fish Konoshiro as an offering to avoid disaster. It is best to see the Shrine priest, because he can take a look at the face and make an apropirate diagnosis.

The large temple has a history of more than 1000 years and many famous people found their final rest in its cemetery.
The founder is Minamoto no Yoshiie 源義家 (1039 - 1106) and the temple is now dedicated to Kobo Daishi Kukai.
Yoshiie was on his way to war in the Tohoku region when he passed here and wanted a place for his personal protector statue of Fudo Myo-O.
He had a revelation from the local deity 稲荷大明神 Inari Daimyojin, who gave him a 宝中之仙 magic jewel and told him:
この珠は希世之珍 宝中之仙である是を以って鎭となさば 則ち武運長久 法燈永く明かならん.
The deity then changed into a white fox and disappeared.
This is the origin of the name of this temple.

. Minamoto no Yoshiie Hachimantaro 源八幡太郎義家 . - (1039 - 1106)

At the Setsubun festival on February 2 it has a special parade of monk-soldiers 僧兵行列.

Its main statue is a 不動明王 Fudo Myo-O made by Rooben 良弁 Roben, but the statue is not shown.
In front of its sanctuary is a Fudo statue carved by 願行上人 Gangyo Shonin (of the Kamakura period).

During the Edo period, many water wheels with stone mortars were installed along the river Kandagawa to make buckwheat flour, but with the introduction of electricity in our modern times, they were just left by the roadside. The head priest of the temple took pity on them and erected this mound in their honor.

Kosei no Kanaoka 巨勢金岡 / こせ の かなおか Kose Kanaoka
Kose no Kanaoka

( ? 802 — ? 897)



- quote
Kose Kanaoka was a proponent of the artistic styles of the Tang dynasty of China. Though few of his works have survived, he is known to have painted landscapes and portraits. He also founded the Kose School of Art, which is named for him. He made the first tonal gradation, and the first Buddha in crayonage style.

Active during the formative days of the aristocratic culture of the Heian period (794–1185), he was reputed to have moved beyond Chinese-inspired subject matter and techniques and to have forged a new style of painting that was uniquely Japanese. As the scion of an aristocratic family, he held court rank and the office of director of the imperial garden.

. Legends and Tales from Japan 伝説 - Introduction .

Many legends about a horse he painted that went off the painting to bring harm to a village. The horse would also eat the 萩の戸の萩 bush clover growing on gates.
There is also a legend from China about a painter of bulls who went wandering around at night.
『清波雑志』にも中国は江南の徐知諤が描いた牛が昼間出てきて草を食べ、夜には戻ってきたとある。

Gifu 岐阜県 益田郡 Mashita district 下呂町 Gero

At the 蚕飼薬師堂 Kogai Yakushi Hall (with prayers for making silk) was a painting by Kanaoka (or maybe 狩野法眼 Kano Hogen) of a horse running away at night.
So someone painted a horse bridle to keep the horse in place.

Kyoto 京都府

At the hall 武徳殿 Butokuden, in the eastern Pine Forest, there was a 鬼 Demon who ate humans.
So on the auspicious 19th day of the 9th lunar month in 892, Kanaoka was ordered to paint it on a sliding door to keep it in place.

At the temple 仁和寺 Ninna-Ji the story of the horse is told. To keep it in place the eyes were stamped out.

At the Imperial palace, a horse painted on sliding doors by Kanaoka was eating the bush clover from the gate. So the painting was changed and the horse got a strong bridle.
